Sunderland v West Ham UnitedSunday, 30th March 2014by Preview Percy''When Preview Percy saw the item on the first gay marriages on the news the other night we were surprised to find that the reactionary old buffer was in favour. "Good" he explained. "Why shouldn't everyone suffer like the rest of us?" You can see why he celebrates his decree absolute every year..... ..''

When will we get our West Ham back?Saturday, 29th March 2014by Carys Baker''Sam Allardyce has been West Ham United's manager for three seasons. Since his appointment the club have gained promotion from the Championship and retained Premier League status. In his managerial career he has won the Irish first division, the English Third division and two play-offs. This may not seem much but he is apparently the thirteenth highest paid manager in the world...''

A reality check, pleaseSaturday, 29th March 2014by Chris Henry''As I reflect on the last few days with whatís been said about Wednesday nightís victory and how Big Sam has reacted it feels weird that I have to keep reminding myself that West Ham actually won. ..''

The gulf that will never go awayThursday, 27th March 2014by Paul Walker''Well, here we are again, right back at the beginning with the same unbridgeable divide with our manager seemingly as wide, if not wider, than ever...''

A catalogue of errorsTuesday, 25th March 2014by Ben Anderson''Itís a rare occasion as a West Ham fan that you look at a fixture against Manchester United and fancy your chances. This was the first mistake I made on Saturday. ..''

Carroll to grab last strikerís slot?Monday, 24th March 2014by Kyle P''Itís been a frustrating season for Hammers striker Andy Carroll. The 25-year-old saw has seen his season massively cut short following an ankle injury that has kept him out for five months...''

Sleepwalking to disasterWednesday, 19th March 2014by Paul Walker''Is it just me who fears we are sleepwalking towards a disaster that will make a mockery of all the self-congratulation that we have had to endure after managing one decent month of results in a dreadfully disappointing season?..''

Stoke City v West Ham UnitedFriday, 14th March 2014by Preview Percy''Many people who have a week off come back refreshed and with renewed enthusiasm for their lot. Preview Percy isn't one of them, though he did perk up a bit on hearing that the site's editor has 'flu. Here's his look at this weekend's trip to Staffordshire. Or alternatively you could go and have root canal surgery, which would probably be less painful......''

Everton v West Ham UnitedFriday, 28th February 2014by Preview Percy''We managed to stop Preview Percy from laughing at the reaction of Southampton supporters to last weekend's result for long enough to get him to write this week's preview. We shouldn't have bothered really..... ..''

A little more Mauricio!Thursday, 27th February 2014by Raedwulf''I must admit, when I indulged in a little "blue sky thinking" I didn't expect to produce a lightning bolt that would blow up a powder keg!

Just one transferro, give eet to me...Monday, 24th February 2014by Raedwulf''Mauricio Pochettino has to be the man for the job. If I can have just one transfer in the coming close season, whatever it costs, bring in Pochettino. What you do with Allardyce, I'm indifferent to. Kick him upstairs to a Director of Football position if it's cheaper, or just sack him; I'm really not interested...''

West Ham United v SouthamptonFriday, 21st February 2014by Preview Percy''Having had a weekend off, we had to drag Preview Percy out of the Swan And Superinjunction to get him to write this one. Was it worth it? Probably not...... ..''

A Faustian pact?Tuesday, 18th February 2014by David Hautzig''It's a story that has been told many times throughout history. From Faust, to George Burns.
